And no matter how fast I run or how many times I push him back, he keeps showing up… like he was made for me.But things are changing. Fast.Someone wants me dead. The Council is watching. And the bond between us is getting harder to ignore.If I want to survive this—and maybe even keep the one person I never thought I’d want—I’ll have to stop running and finally face the truth:I’m not just a rogue anymore.I’m his.
